Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels have rightfully drawn headlines as top rookie quarterbacks to watch in 2024. They were drafted with the first and second respective picks of this yearโ€™s draft.

Four rounds later, the Saints used a fifth-round pick to select Spencer Rattler, who played his college ball at Oklahoma and South Carolina. He initially rose to prominence on the Netflix show โ€œQB1.โ€

On the surface, itโ€™s probably not a great sign for New Orleans Saints oddsย that Rattler will play at least a few weeks of the 2024 season in place of the injured Derek Carr.

However, Iโ€™m not so sure thereโ€™s a ton of drop-off in playmaking from Carr to Rattler. The rookie is a former five-star prospect, and the Saints nabbed him for awfully cheap.ย 

This could be a rookie contract to watch. In the short term, Iโ€™ll be looking for good NFL betting lines that incorrectly value Rattler and the Saints.ย 

Spencer Rattler Contract

Spencer Rattler signed a four-year, $4.35 million contract with the Saints after being drafted at No. 150 overall.ย 

Because he was not a first-round pick, Rattlerโ€™s contract does not include a fifth-year option, and the only money he is guaranteed is his signing bonus.

Spencer Rattler Signing Bonus

Spencer Rattler received a signing bonus of $336,480.

Spencer Rattler Salary

Spencer Rattler will make the NFL rookie minimum of $795,000 in 2024.ย 

After accounting for his signing bonus, his total earned cash for 2024 is $1,131,480.
